Scott Pilgrim is set to make a grand return to video games next year with Scott Pilgrim EX, and after just 30 minutes with the side-scrolling beat-em-up adventure at Gamescom, I'm feeling confident that it'll be worth the 15+ year wait.

As I sit down with Scott Pilgrim EX at Gamescom – playing in couch co-op alongside a team including the game's narrative designer and marketing director – it's an immediate delight. Its brightly colored 2D pixel-art style is full of charm, each character is delightfully expressive, and landing hits on incoming foes simply feels so damn good.
